Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 456 asked in the Legislative Council on 10 August 2021 by Hon Nick Goiran

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

STATE SOLICITOR'S OFFICE

456. Hon NICK GOIRAN to the parliamentary secretary representing the Attorney General:

I refer to the Attorney General's media statement on 8 July 2021, which announced that the State Solicitor's Office will now be an independent sub-department of the Department of Justice.

(1) Is the Attorney General aware that it has been more than three years since this recommendation was made in the Langoulant report?

(2) What has been the cost to the state in implementing this recommendation?

(3) Will the Attorney General table the business case relating to this matter?

Hon MATTHEW SWINBOURN replied:

I thank the member for some notice of the question, and I provide the following response on behalf of the Attorney General.

(1)–(3) The establishment of the State Solicitor's Office as an independent sub-department of the Department of Justice was the subject of a cabinet decision. It will have minimal impact on the state's finances.
